I must confess that I am disappointed with the ending. I know that's a typical thing with the Sopranos - leaving lots of loose ends. But really, I thought my TV went on the fritz! However, I am sure that I will eventually see it for the brilliance that it is. In the meantime, let me suggest a couple of things that might explain the ending.
- The cat is really Adriana reincarnated, that's why it keeps looking at the photo of Chris. Eventually the cat tells Carmela that Tony had Adriana killed.
- When it all goes black at the end, it's really because Tony got whacked by that Russian mobster who went missing in the woods several years ago.
- Uncle Junior isn't really demented, and he starts running the family from the security of the hospital.
- AJ becomes a Navy SEAL.
- Sil remains a vegetable but shows signs of life when he hears anything played by Bruce Springsteen.
- Paulie is killed in a freak accident involving lightning and a cell phone.
